Master Assumptions & Financial Bases

Daily food and beverage covers plus high-margin wet sales across every bar on site.

The volume engine of the venue, with beverage gross covers as the primary margin driver. Arch 3 (The Main Bar) and The Yard’s bespoke Container Bar are the two physical engines powering cross-site beverage conversion — steady all-day trade keeps cash flowing seven days a week and underpins fixed operating costs.

Timed-entry admissions and evening event ticket lines.

Spikes around programming and headline moments. Higher spend per head than walk-in trade, and the pre-booked nature gives early visibility on demand so staffing and stock can be planned to the night.

Full-venue and partial-zone hire for corporate and private clients.

The single highest-value transactions in the model. A handful of bookings can match weeks of walk-in trade, and they typically land midweek when public demand is softest — filling the calendar where it matters most.

Eight tech-enhanced competitive gaming tables hired by the group.

A destination activity that pulls groups in and keeps them on site for longer. Lane hire carries a strong margin in its own right, and dwell time converts directly into additional food, drink and add-on spend.

Neighbourhood Pass and tiered membership subscriptions.

The most predictable line in the model. Recurring monthly fees build a loyal local base, lift visit frequency and create committed revenue that can be forecast with confidence well ahead of time.

Tiered brand sponsorship and activation packages across the venue.

A £1.15M-per-year target, benchmarked conservatively against Outernet London’s ~£18M pa run rate. High-margin income with little operational cost — brands pay to reach the audience the venue already attracts.
